Can picked up at the brewery by my mate Daz. Cheers pal. Fully smoothie looking ruby red. Fine suds of dirty pink. Nose has lots of bright sweet berry notes. Raspberry jam on toast thing going on. Some creamy notes, presumably of the oat addition. Taste is light sweet with dryness and a good fruit tartness. Very refreshing and quenching. I don’t get the coriander but there’s a touch of salinity in there. Juicy tart finish. Another solid bev from this outfit.

Can picked up at the brewery by my mate Daz. Clear chestnut brown. Very sturdy dense cream coloured head. Looks good. Nose has milk chocolate. Fruit and nut chocolate. Some hedgerow fruit. Taste sets off sweet too. Has decent fruity earthy bitterness. Drinks well. Earthy bitterness to finish. Don’t entirely see the point of the lactose because there’s enough going off but still an enjoyable bev, as per the others I recently had the pleasure of.

Can picked up at the brewery by my mate Daz. Pours like gravy! Not sure what’s going off but it’s thick as a bag. Sits ominous chocolate brown with a slim viscous being foam. Can’t meet my mind up if it looks good or not. Nose has sugary espresso. Citrus hop leaf. Some light savoury notes. Taste has light sweetness and big semi mineraly bitterness. Slick with good body. Big bitterness to finish with a light milky coffee sweetness knocking about. Fucking bosh.

Can picked up at the brewery by my mate Daz. Not far off BBD. Clear very dark reddy brown. Glossy topped beige foam. Nose has fairly subdued hop with notes of pine and caramelised citrus. Some coffee malts. Bit of a savoury note. Taste is better with decent balance between sweet and coffee bitter. Smooth and quite creamy. Bitter finish. I suspect the hops have dropped off considerably here. Still smashed it, mind.

Can picked up at the brewery by my mate Daz. Glowing lemon gold. Thick white foam settles to a dense semi lacing glossy affair. Nose has flowery hop. Orange peel. Soft wheat. Light “Belgian” yeasty notes. Some sweetness on the lips with a nice gentle herbal bitterness. Smooth and foamy on the palate. Sinks particularly easy. Nice for not being too yeasty or sweet. Light dry light bitter finish. Nice.

Can picked up at the brewery by my mate Daz. Clear coppery gold. Big ole swede settles to a lasting swirl. Nose has cracker bread malts and leafy peppery grassy hop. Comes across herbal and oily fresh. Taste has some sweetness to start with more of the herby peppery character. Very easy drinking with nicely burp inducing fizz. Mellow bitter finish. Another good one from this brewer. Impressive stuff.

Can picked up at the brewery by my workmate Daz. Cheers pal. Hazed glowing orange. Very tidy matching swede stays the course. Nose has sweet peach and nectarine. Well ripe orange. Touch of milky oats. Taste is mostly sweet with a pithy lightly zesty citrus bitterness. Easy drinking affair to the tune it lasted 5 minutes tops. Nice bitterness to finish.

Can picked up at the brewery by my mate Daz. Looks boss despite what it looks like in my pic! Glowing orange gold. Slim dense lasting lacing bright white foam. Nose has punchy and vibrant white grape hoppage. Bit of a dank thing. Bit of pine. Bready malt backdrop. Taste has a glimmer of sweetness with a decent pithy bitterness. Drinks mighty fine overall. Moderate bitterness to finish. Smashed it.

Can picked up at the brewery by my mate Daz. Ignore the pic, it’s 7.2%. Light haze on a medium gold. Slim sticky lasting white foam. Looks the part. Nose has a baked pineapple thing going on. So we’re in good hands. Piny notes. Sticky citrus. Sweet malts. Taste is definitely sweet up front but with a big hit of pithy piny resinous bitterness. Really easy drinking. Mouth altering bitterness to finish. Bosh.

Can picked up at the brewery by my mate Daz. Hazed orange gold. Slim dense semi lacing lasting white foam. Nose has sweet bready malts. Bit sticky bun like. Hops come across hedgerow fruit and grassy. Bit of sweet citrus. Taste is semi sweet and malty with moderate sweet citrus peel bitterness. Very easy drinking overall. Bitterness ramps up somewhat on the finish. Nice golde.
